Jonesboro, Arkansas – After President Joe Biden announced the United States would release millions of barrels of oil from its reserves, Arkansas gas prices fell nearly five cents last week.

The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded in the Natural State fell 4.5 cents last week to $3.75, according to GasBuddy.com.

That’s sill 22.9 cents a gallon more than motorists paid a month ago and $1.08/gallon higher than a year ago. The national average of gasoline fell 5.4 cents a gallon to $4.17.

According to Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, the reduction in price to President Biden’s announcement the U.S. would release 180 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
